The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 726

Zachary's eyes were calm, and his tone so casual and natural that it made Sophia feel a little guilty for no reason. She remembered reading somewhere that one should never try to lie to a psychologist because they could see right through you.

And that was exactly how it always felt between her and Zachary.

Without thinking, she grabbed the glass of water on the coffee table and took a huge gulp of hot water.

She choked and burst into coughing fits.

Zachary sighed, reached over, and gently patted her back. "Don't rush, Sophia. Whatever it is, you can tell me. If you're feeling insecure, that's not on you. It just means I haven't done enough to make you feel safe."

Sophia shook her head while coughing. "No, Zachary. Don't overthink it."

"Sophia, I'm always here to listen. Anytime."

She finally stopped coughing and stood up quickly. "I'm going to bed. You should get some rest, too, Zachary."

She practically fled to her room.

She'd been staying at Zachary's place, but she insisted on sleeping in the guest room from day one. He respected her boundaries completely-caring for her, loving her, never crossing a line she wasn't ready for.

Lying in bed, she pulled out her phone and texted Sierra.
